About the Artist

Some people ask where I studied art? – The answer is simple – YouTube, books, and learning how to ‘see’!  Seriously – almost every day I watch at least one tutorial, or study at least one technique from one of my beloved books. I have also begun teaching ChatGPT to know the style and quality to which I aspire and will upload my pieces to that platform and ask for suggestions – it is strangely helpful!

I simply don’t understand anyone who says they get ‘bored’ easily.  There is so much information available – there always has been (before the internet (yes, I know – there really was a time before the internet) I was a fixture at my local libraries).  You may not be into art – great!  I am also learning the basics of reading hieroglyphs by watching tutorials provided by the British Museum – and it’s all free.

I strongly urge each and every person to find something – anything – that is of interest, and invest some time to explore the topic.  Who knows – maybe you will find something about which to become passionate, as I did with my art.

For me, I love capturing the essence of whatever it is I am painting – it’s a little like telling a story, but with paints…
